the technology for justis is essentially middle where technology. it is not and acquitted by any means, using the latest oracle fusion the where sweet as the court justice cupp. the way that they put it together from the standpoint is days several independent management systems that the department level. these kids management systems were never designed to speak to one another. many of them had, prior to working with the justis team, never had the ability to receive or get data out of the systems. the justis hub, with oracle as the back and database, provides the separate case management systems to exchange data from different databases. some are simple, some are mainframe. we have to integrate with that. others are oracle. some are web-based. the hub converts all of that data on a transaction basis and send it out to where it is needed. >> my understanding is there is still discussion internally about whether we are migrating to a system that will be sustainable for long term. other cities use more cutting edge technologies. can you comment on that

very valuable, and the idea was to use this technology that i've been using for the last 10 years, low resolution imagery, to reflect market street back to the pedestrians walking by. the reason that it kind of works in this environment is that you see people walking by. you see cars going by. you see buses going by, but you cannot help we the people are because it is low resolution. you cannot see their faces. you can see the way they walk. you might be able to tell the kind of car going by. >> what do you think passersby will experience? >> i was thinking it was going to be a test of the success of the work if people stop and look. i have noticed in the last few nights that people do stop and look. a certain percentage. one of the things i was playing with was the ambiguity of whether it is alive or not, so people walk by, and they might even move like this back and forth, thinking that they are in the image, and they realize that it is a daytime shot, and that kind of thing. >> thanks for being part of life on market street. >> my pleasure. >> after the lighting of urban reflection,

you would think that we would have an office of emerging technology or some level of technology something lie now especially as you look at the tech industry in san francisco and we see that it is one of the number one growing industries in our city. what we find is that we are reacting to what they do rather than being proactive about creating the kinds of policies that would allow for these technologies to not only thrive in san francisco or be meaningful for the residents. this is a new direction for the city. we don't see a bunch of scooters all over the city and them they have to pick them up and take them to figure out what to do with them, then the supervisors have to introduce legislation on a rapid pace and we are trying to catch up with technology and implement policies so that we we can have a system in place. not just about regulation. it is about safety. it is about access. it is about developing a system that works so that when people come here with new ideas, which i think are incredible ideas, great ideas, we love to use technology every day on our smartphones. we want to

when i think about surveillance technology, i particularly think of mass surveillance technology. those that surveil all persons in an area and i particularly think of the dangers of abuse by law enforcement. these technologies, including wall mounted cameras, body worn cameras and license plate readers can be part of the over-policing of marginalized communities, because the footage may be potentially misleading as a "new york times" article, police body cameras, what do you see, demonstrated. and because they might send footage to other agencies. including ice, which is in violation of our sanctuary city promise. it's why we have the 4th amendment. surveillance of specific persons with a clear and legitimate purpose can be done and should only be done with a warrant. proper oversight is critical. that is why i support the proposed ordinance to require oversight over the purchase and use of surveillance equipment. thank you. >> hello. i'm the government relations coordinator for the government on islamic relations. i think there has been a lot of misunderstanding what this ordina
